The LaSalle Tigers continued District 3-1A play this week against St Mary’s and Logansport. The Tigers were off on Tuesday night, but continued district play with St Mary’s coming to town on Thursday night. The Tigers would get off to a slow start and never manage to generate enough offense to overcome St Mary’s. St Mary’s is ranked #4 in Division IV Select Boys Basketball, and they have the firepower to make a run at a state championship. The Tigers young team would be overwhelmed for the entire game. The Tigers would never be able to get in to an offensive rhythm and would fall to St Mary’s 59-17.
